New Public Body Chair Masterclasses

New Public Body Chair Masterclasses Oct-Dec 2023

Hosted jointly by PCF and Institute for Government (IfG), the New Public Body Chair Masterclasses are a series of three masterclasses aimed at supporting new and prospective public chairs as they tackle this unique role. Chairs have described how challenging the first year in the role can be, as they navigate a new set of responsibilities and powers that are often poorly defined.

The purpose of the series is to:

Explain the governmental and public body landscape
Examine the relationship between public bodies and sponsoring departments
Identify and explore key stakeholder relationships
Reflect on the public chair role and discuss challenges and experiences with others

The masterclasses are specifically designed for:

Public body chairs in their first year of appointment
Aspiring chairs, likely to be highly experienced non-executive directors
